Facebook Sued Over Warning

(Bloomberg) -- Facebook
Inc.’s practice of putting fact-checking warning labels on anti-vaccination
posts triggered a lawsuit accusing the social media company of censorship.
Children’s Health Defense, a
nonprofit advocacy group led by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., filed the complaint
Monday in federal court in northern California.
The warning labels “appear to
flag disinformation, but in reality censor valid and truthful speech,”
according to the complaint.
